Coughing up solid white stuff.

this has me worried.
If I cough a lot and a lot I can really work my throat muscles to get certain chunks of mucus out, and in them is this solidish white stuff maybe about as much of it as say if you broke off the lead of two #2 pencils.
I'm worried it might be fucking mold or something.... I don't think my weed is moldy, there may be some mold in my bathroom though..... but on the other hand the weed is ancient and was never high quality to begin with.
Should I go to a doctor? I don't want to tell them I smoke weed. I don't want lung cancer either though

Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

So don't tell them you smoke weed 
You probably have a lung infection of some kind, and you will want to go to a doc to get some antibiotics for it. You don't have to tell them you smoke weed. If the doc asks if you smoke, just tell them you smoke cigarettes occasionally. "I only really smoke at parties when I'm drinking, doc" or something like that. I'm pretty sure any good doc would be able to tell if you smoke something...so there's not much use in telling a big lie when you can get away with a little one 
They'll probably just do a throat swab and send you home with some antibiotics.

hmm yeah.
but it's the same old routine, sinus infection, meds. my whole life
several times a year.
it seems like if i cleaned my sinuses my lungs would clean up just fine and just be mildly fucked from smoking but nothing that noticeable, i have a good lung capacity, it's jsut there's definitely a lot of mucus lodged somewhere in there too.
I guess I might go to one tomorrow.
the last one i went to he asked "have you been smoking anything" and I said "what do you mean?" and he's like "weed, crack, cigarettes" and i laughed and said "no just cigarettes" but it was all awkward.
or maybe i said "i've smoked a little bit" and he's like "what did you smoke?" he probably knew what was up but that doesn't matter since i didn't acknowledge anything other than cigs.

I've had the same thing happen, it occasionally happens to me, even when completely healthy. If it's only one or two pieces and isn't happening frequently, don't worry, it's normal. If it's big or happens constantly, be worried. I'm still not sure if it's throat lining or food matter myself...

Do the white things smell bad?
If so, they could be Tonsilloliths

You've heard of the hippocratic oath I take it?
Anything you say to a Doctor is in confidence and is inadmissable as evidence in a law suit, as they can get their arse kicked for breaking Doctor/patient confidentiality - unless you have totally different laws apply in the US?
I've told my Doctor every drug I've ever taken and why, the effects, the comedowns, the lack of money and the socio-economics when I wanted some tranqs 'cos I was doing too much Charlie (Cocaine) - he always seems quite interested actually!
